We had a lovely holiday at Rosaria and Bertil's home. It was a traditionally furnished, very spacious ground floor of their house. It was very well-equipped, not just for a holiday, but even for the everyday needs of an entire family. You could spend months there and you'd have everything you need.The kitchen had all the pots, pans and utensils you can imagine, even coffee grinder and a standing blender. But the stove had no oven. But, there's barbecue in the garden instead.There were even spices and condiments in the kitchen. The house is surrounded by a large estate, filled with mango and avocado trees. They had 2 small dogs but they were friendly and very well-behaved. There were some hens and a rooster, which was unfortunately loud from the wee hours of the morning. We saw wild rabbits every morning in the garden. Another thing to keep in mind even though there were almost no mosquitoes, there were small flies everywhere because there is no screen on the windows. That would have been very useful to have installed. We had small 'pets' too every night, 2 small lizards, they were very cute and useful because they are eating insects. They were lazing around on the walls, content to keep to themselves. We weren't bothered by them, but if you are afraid, then keep in mind that they basically live everywhere in the Mediterranean coast and like to sneak into houses.
Since the house is up on a hill, you get a very nice view of the sea when the weather is not very humid. You definitely need a car as a means of transportation, because you are a short, 8-minute drive from the beach. A supermarket is close by, next to the beach, where you can find everything. We arrived in the middle of the night, and Rosaria was very kind to explain us how to get there and waited for us at the bottom of the hill. She even filled up the fridge with water, wine, cheese, bread, eggs, tomatoes and 2 bowls with fruits, the eggs and mangoes her own produce. We would definitely recommend this place for everyone with enthusiasm, especially since it's a good starting point if you plan to go on day-trips to Malaga, Ronda, Granada or Gibraltar, and it's also close to some very good beaches if you plan on beach-hopping like we did. There were air mattresses and beach chairs in the garage left from previous guests and we could use all of them. We had a fantastic holiday, thank you for being excellent hosts, Rosaria and Bertil. We will never forget all the fresh juicy mangoes Rosaria!
